how to hide the chat panel in teams?

I like to keep my teams small so previously, with 80% zoom and the teams window as small as possible, I realized that the chat panel would auto hide and it would show only when I hover my mouse over Chat.

However, recently chat panel would stay open so it is taking up quite a space in my small teams window. Does anyone know how to make this chat panel auto hide itself?

Only way to make it hide is if I make the zoom 115% which is ridiculously large for me...

    I already tried this based on another reply and it didn't work because it took me back to an older version of Teams and however my employer has it setup it automatically switches it back to the newest version where the chat won't go away.

    I can not auto-hide the chats panel using the suggested 115% zoom size.

    Not sure how a Microsoft Agent can answer and be so wrong. This was absolutely a feature. The reason you cant replicate is because Teams was updated and removed it. Can we please get an ETA on when this will be brought back. This is ridiculous.
